PPLD's 21st Century Library

Pikes Peak Library District’s 21st Century Library is
designed to address the changing needs of our community, bringing the latest
technologies to a new regional library, Library 21c. Opening June 2014, Library
21c will mitigate the ever-increasing digital divide that continues to widen
across our society, placing many members of our community at a competitive
disadvantage.

While offering traditional library spaces, Library
21c will feature innovative library space such as a creative computer
commons area, a business and entrepreneurial center, a 400-seat community meeting room and
theater, a career assistance center and two maker-spaces.

MakerBot Replicator Z-18

With the MakerBot 3D printer, ideas and concepts become a reality! Adding the Z18 to the line of the library's
existing smaller 3D printers, will allow the library's patrons to create
quality, extra-large, industrial prototypes for various types of businesses and professional uses. Located in one of Library 21c's maker-spaces, PPLD staff at Library 21c will engage patrons of all ages, introducing them to the technology of 3D printing and building real world skills.

If campaign funding is not achieved, all funds raised through Indiegogo will be designated toward the purchase of the MakerBot. The PPLD Foundation will continue efforts to raise the funds needed to bring the MakerBot Replicator Z-18 to Library 21c.

The Impact

With your donation, PPLD will provide quality 3D printer services to our patrons who are developing concepts to further convey their ideas for products, businesses and other creative visions. Offering this innovative service will connect everyone in our community to cutting edge technology and more importantly, opportunity.
